JUST THE FACTS: Nesbitt was named the MVP of the Pirate Invitational at West Windsor-Plainsboro South on Saturday after winning the 200-yard freestyle and 50 freestyle and anchoring to the first place 200 free and 400 free relays at the Pirate Invitational.

COACH’S COMMENT: "When I first met Andrew, he was fast, but he certainly wasn’t anywhere near the talent he is today. What Mariano Rivera does for the Yankees, Andrew Nesbitt does for our team during the relays. In baseball the game is no longer nine innings when Rivera enters the game it’s over. When Andrew jumps into the pool, the race is over. We just need to get to him." -- St. Joseph coach Steve Whittington

REACTION: "I haven’t felt good in the water recently, and my muscles were pretty sore from training, so it felt pretty good to go out and win MVP of the Pirate Invitational."

WHAT’S NEXT: "I’m currently being looked at by TCNJ, Rider, Rowan and Navy, but I’m still unsure where I’m going to go. I got into Penn State, but I’d have to walk onto the swim team there."

FAVORITE EVENT: "The 200 freestyle. It’s the most challenging race and I like to challenge myself. It’s the hardest on your body, which is why not many people like to swim it."

SWIMMING FOR COACH WHITTINGTON: "I definitely take what he says to heart. When he tells me I need to push myself, that’s exactly what I do."

ON ANCHORING THE RELAYS: "I really like being the closer. I like running people down and passing them."

FAVORITE SPORT BESIDES SWIMMING: "I used to play soccer when I was younger, but when I got to high school I had to pick between soccer and swimming."

WHY SWIMMING: "I really like the competing against people. Swimming is an individual sport and I like that the responsibility falls on me."
